SYNOPSIS
In a world of Free trade regulated by international corporate interests, a multinational company can sue a State asking for financial compensation when it claims that his business interests are harmed by a new environmental or health related domestic regulation. International Arbitration Courts are where these multi-million-dollar claims are being debated and judged, behind closed doors. Welcome into a world of big money where National States sovereignty is threatened and taxpayers money is at stake. A 2 year in the making investigation travelling across Europe from Belgium, Germany to France, and to North and South America to document and decipher the growing power of international arbitration courts, a ticking time bomb for our democracies!
